BAD PAPER!! Where does all this paper come from?! I hate junk mail! I let the pile grow all week in preparation for this week's theme. GOOD PAPER!! This is sampling of some of the beautiful papers waiting to become a part of an altered book.
I have heard of altered books before but have not seen them done. As a school librarian myself, I would bet I could find some oldies but goodies in the colleciton that need some work. Your good papers are beautiful.
What a great idea! Those are both really nice photos for this week :)
For junk mail, I've heard to tear it up, write 'No Thank You' on one of the papers, and mail it back to them in the pre-paid envelope. Just takes one or two times, and they stop coming.
Well maybe some of that "bad" paper can be recycled for your scrapbooking. I know I use some parts of envelopes and cards for making cards when I am rubber stamping. You just have to be creative and recycle the rest!
Sometimes you can do good with bad paper, my son makes lots of paper airplanes with them. But good paper is always better! Thanks for sharing and visiting.
